Now that I am mostly recovered, I am getting out more now and tackling bigger challenges.   Many of the recent outings will result in new articles.   Here is a partial list:

• Today I paddled Phillips Lake and Skimikin Lake, both lovely locations for kayaking.
• On Wednesday, we hiked through the Ironmask Hills.
• On Monday, I paddled on Kamloops Lake from Tobiano to Cherry Bluffs and back.
• Last week, I paddled the Shuswap River and Harper Lake, and hiked Mt. Vicars.

I also scouted out some new spots for exploration:

• a series of hills above Tobiano
• Mt. Boysse
• Black Mountain
• Chum Lake (not sure about access)
• Mt. Hilliam (a new route)
